Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2396

Sabrina was unable to make a guess. She wrapped her hands around her mother's arms. "Hmm, if I were to take a guess, with my mother’s charm and methods, that person certainly would have come running over. Not only did he come over, but he would even think that he had already trapped you. Right?"

Gloria raised her hand and poked Sabrina's forehead. "Silly girl, is it even necessary to take a guess? If he did not come over, then would there be all these things that followed?"

"Quickly go on, Mom. What kind of attitude did he have after he came over? I am more and more interested in listening to how you make a fool of him." Sabrina was hardly able to have a chat with her mother. Since she finally got the chance, she might as well take advantage of it and have a good talk with her mother and satisfy her mother's joyful mood. That was a very meaningful and important thing that her mother had done. Of course, she had to let her mother tell her the story. If they were to be happy together, her mother would certainly be even happier.

Gloria jogged her memory a little and then continued the story. Gloria's sickness that day was, of course, an act, and Gloria perfectly pretended to be sick. She laid on the bed in the clean and white single room in the hospital where the bedsheet was white, the blanket was white, and everything was white. They made Gloria's skin appear to be even more pale and weak. That large single room, however, not only made Gloria appear to be very well off as even the ward that she was staying in was a single room with a couch, decorations, and everything, but it also precisely made Gloria seem lonely and had no one to depend on.

When James appeared at the door to her room, Gloria was not at all surprised.

James even purposely dressed himself up. He was tall and he wore a suit. He looked energetic, elegant, and gentle, and he had a smile on his face. He truly looked like an elite. To be honest, not many women were able to resist such a man.

When Gloria looked at James, who was holding a bunch of flowers, she immediately teared up. "Mister Dunn..." There was a catch in her throat "I-I never thought that out of so many friends I have from the dance group, the person who actually came to see me first would be you. I'm sorry. I was a little rude to you yesterday, but it wasn't that I really wanted to be rude to you or anything. I'm a person who likes to make friends the most. It was really such a coincidence. I was exhausted from dancing with my friends the day before and I was a little hungry when I got home, so I took some food out of the fridge to eat after warming them up. In the end, I got the stomach flu in the middle of the night. WelL.once I got sick only I felt how lonely I was. It's so shameful to be the lonely one." Gloria got emotional while having a catch in her throat.

James was putting the flowers in a vase at the side and he even tucked Gloria in before he asked, "Was it because the food has gone bad after being in the fridge for a long time?"

Gloria nodded. "Yes. I don't really know how to cook, so I hired a part-time maid to come and clean my house and cook for me once a week. As she only cooks for me once a week, I would always ask her to make enough food that could last me for the entire week. Maybe my fridge was broken. I noticed a few days ago that my fridge is not that cold anymore. I am a woman and I don't know how to fix it. Also, because I live alone, I don't feel happy about having a repairman over. I was thinking of getting a new fridge, but before I got the time to buy one, I . got sick and was hospitalized.”

Speaking of that, Gloria smiled apologetically at James. "I'm sorry, Mister Dunn. As a woman who lives alone, I truly have embarrassed myself in front of you..."

After saying that, she hung her head. Her expression was lonely and reserved, and it also was a little delicate and pitiful that was restrained. Together with Gloria’s fair complexion, soft features, and the tidy bed that matches the color of the flowers on the bedside table, the graceful, mature, and weak woman seemed just like a flower. That imagery unexpectedly created a different feeling. James was stunned by what he saw. She was truly beautiful. He suddenly realized that the part of the woman that was beautiful was her age.
